Landseer Custom 2.0 Review

Premium-quality camper, now with a four-year warranty

Highly Commended in the 2025 Out & About Live Campervan Awards in the pop-top category, NCC (National Caravan Council) approved and sold through a dealer network (rather than factory direct), Landseer Leisure has already stamped its mark on the campervan market despite only being established just over six years ago.  

The Custom 2.0 arrives here already having impressed on a full live-in road test and this latest spec comes with even more kit and a four-year warranty on both the base vehicle and the conversion. 

The base vehicle 

It is built on the Ford Tourneo ‘camper donor’ (ready for conversion to a campervan), a specification that means it is classified as an M1 passenger vehicle and will be registered with the DVLA as a motor caravan. It also comes with the Ford Camper Assist roadside assistance package. 

Its cab spec was already comprehensive but the 2026-model gets a full-sized spare wheel, larger fuel tank, wireless phone charging, reversing camera, trailer hitch assist and six-way adjustment on both (heated) front seats. In addition, there are LED headlights, 17in alloy wheels, a 13in touchscreen, and metallic paint (six colour choices) as standard.  

Starting at £76,000 with the 150hp motor and six-speed manual gearbox, our test vehicle featured the 170hp motor and automatic transmission, increasing the base price to £79,950.

The new Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise control, sat-nav, power folding mirrors and heated steering wheel (still that weird squared-off shape) adds an extra £1,530, while the superb leather upholstery front and rear costs £2,600. 

A sum of its parts

As well as the enhanced Ford spec, the latest Landseer sees the company swap seat supplier from Schnierle to Mobiframe. Both seats slide on floor rails but the new bench takes less effort to transform into a bed and, thanks to a neat infill along the nearside wall, the double here is a good size, at 1.92m by 1.29m. 

There’s a second bed in the roof (1.98m by 1.20m), where the mattress sits on ClimaPlux springs. Landseer uses a premium German pop-top from SCA and you can see that this is a superior-quality roof in areas such as its belt ‘n’ braces locking mechanisms.

However, its canvas seems to have been designed for hotter climes than ours – you can fully unzip the front three-quarters (leaving just a mosquito mesh) but, if you only want daylight (not ventilation), the small offside window is a bit disappointing. Down below, there are two opening windows but these are just pop-out panels, not sliders. 

A complete kitchen

It’s the kitchen that really impresses here, with oak worktops, an underslung sink with solid wood cover and optional Highland Green finish.

The slide-out unit for tinned foods, etc, and the dimmable ambient lights exemplify the premium nature of this camper and it’s completely gas-free, too. Cooking is on a Sterling twin induction hob, linked to a Clayton lithium power system.

That was upgraded here to 160Ah and a 3kW inverter for £840, while a 240W solar panel is standard. 

There’s hot water here, too, both at the sink and rear external shower (£210), supplied from a Webasto Thermo Top diesel system (£1,245 extra) that includes blown-air heating.

Unless you plan to use the shower, we’d stick with the standard-fit Webasto Air Top heater, especially as that frees up cupboard space and allows the loo to store more conveniently at floor level. 

Talking of convenience, it’s odd that the rear corner cupboard cannot be opened when the rearmost section of bed is horizontal – that seems like a schoolboy error when so much of this camper is so well thought out.

Boot area storage is good although not class-leading but can, of course, be increased by sliding the bench seat forwards. 

Landseer is constantly tweaking the spec of its Custom 2.0 to keep it at the top of the premium pop-top sector.
